BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP
- The שְׁמַע (Sh'ma), found in all siddurim (prayer books), is the required prayer
- The complete prayer is below in Hebrew & English

- Many add a prayer called הַמַּפּיל (Ha'mah'pill) after which you aren't supposed to eat,
drink or talk - Consult your Rabbi about additional prayers
HEBREW
Hebrew is read from right to left
The " means you should say Adonai
In English this means G-d
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְיָ אֶחָד.
בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יְיָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ, בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ, וּבְכָל נַפְשְׁךָ, וּבְכָל מְאֹדֶךָ.
וְהָיוּ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם, עַל לְבָבֶךָ.
וְשִׁנַּנְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ, וְדִבַּרְתָּ בָּם, בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ בְּבֵיתֶךָ, וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ בַדֶּרֶךְ, וּבְשָׁכְבְּךָ, וּבְקוּמֶךָ.
וּקְשַׁרְתָּם לְאוֹת עַל יָדֶךָ, וְהָיוּ לְטֹטָפֹת בֵּין עֵינֶיךָ. וּכְתַבְתָּם עַל מְזֻזוֹת בֵּיתֶךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶיך.

ENGLISH
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
& with all your soul and with all your might
And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart.
And you shall teach them diligently to your children & you shall speak of them
When you sit at home & when you walk along the way
& when you lie down & when you rise up.
And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand
& they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates
